The flag represents the freedom not to fly the flag. It represents the opposite of government compelling people to fly it.

No flag on @tomhunt1988's website by the way. Am I really going to have to do this all again?

'There is a new story about the Caribbean experience which speaks to the slave period not only being about profit and suffering but how culturally African people transformed themselves into a re-modelled African/Britain.'

I keep staring a this sentence in the #RaceReport
It doesn't really make grammatical sense. What new story? The Caribbean experience of what? Being shackled and beaten? How did that speak to how 'culturally African' people transforming themselves?
What does this mean?? What remodelled African/Britain? How do enslaved people transform themselves into a country/continent? This is fucking nonsense.

I finished the #SnyderCut. It’s terrible. It’s terrible film-making. Boring, incoherent, sullen, flabby, jeopardy free, poe-faced, crap CGI, shit cinematography, baffling fight choreography, and boring. Did I mention how boring it is?
I am a big fan of Cavill as Soops, and GG as WW, but this is arboreal acting – not their fault, the script is charmless and vapid. The zingers don’t zing, the rousing speeches are tiring. Cap does it, Rocket/Ant-Man swoon. Bats does one and worlds beg for Darkseid's sweet release
Falcon and the Winter Soldier is everything that this is not. It’s fun, funny, charming, moving, and cool. It actually builds on the world, and develops the characters, with real world consequences.

I promised myself that I wasn't going to do it, but I'm going to aren't I. I hate myself. Sigh.
#SnyderCut
Oh god it's so boring already. I miss WandaVision.

And Aquaman totally just revealed Batman's secret identity.
I give up. I'm bored. And why is it 4:3? My eyes aren't 4:3.

I'm going to look at transcripts of the Nuremberg trials. Actually true.

Huh. @jordanbpeterson guessing that medicine kills more people than it cures, @BretWeinstein claiming that the evidence for coronavirus being human-made is mounting.

The most casual, cursory glance at the evidence would show these are both balls.

But no, grifters gotta grift.
@jordanbpeterson @BretWeinstein Here are some NIH resources on the SARS-CoV-2 genome, which shows concordance with 7 other coronaviruses that were zoonotic in origin

@jordanbpeterson @BretWeinstein Here's a study that shows the common ancestor of SARS-CoV-2 and RaGT13, a bat sarbecovirus that diverged in the last 80 years or so

I said something stupid on the @bbcbigquestions this morning. When I mentioned that Mary’s virginity was a medieval invention, I was actually thinking of the Immaculate Conception. Mary’s perpetual virginity was much earlier, 3rdC onwards (though not Biblical). @NickyAACampbell
I was trying to be clever and as a result was actually stoopid and wrong. Mary’s virginity is stated in Matthew and Luke, but it is later that the doctrine emerges that she is a virgin before during and after the birth of Christ.
The Immaculate Conception of course is a totally different idea, that Mary herself was conceived free from Original Sin. That is a medieval dogma, but totally distinct from her perpetual virginity. Thanks to @Cal_Thinks for calling me out.
